What is special about the concert?
Iñigo Giner Miranda creates extraordinary experiences as a concert designer. The Bonner Münster cathedral is used as a spatialised setting, with the various works flowing into one extended song.
How does it sound?
Description
The musicians of the Beethoven Orchester Bonn immerse the wide space of the Cathedral Bonner Münster completely in sound. Distributed at different positions in the church, they create an immersive experience, in which the the works transition seamlessly into one another. Voice, instruments and electronic sound elements combine to form a musical prayer to nature and about life.
